Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Why the fuck do people still insist on using red fucking text?

ONLY use a white font with a black stroke OR a black font with a white stroke. Either works on pretty much every single background you can come up with. Stop fucking using red text.

I'd imagine the colorblind people are very confused right now, with the red on green action.

[–]DorkPassenger 10 points11 points ago

There was something red in that image?

[–]pplthot 8 points9 points ago

The problem is never actually the color, it's the values (brightness) being too similar.

[–]Deddan 7 points8 points ago

Valueblind person sounds weird.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

GOD DAMNIT I CAN'T READ THESE AMAZING DEALS AT WAL-MART!

[–]pplthot 0 points1 point ago

Yeah but the problem isn't that we're blind to values. It's that the values are so similar that it's hard to see the difference.

[–]Deddan 0 points1 point ago

I can see why they call it colourblind and not can'tseesimilarvalue disorder.

[–]pplthot 0 points1 point ago

What I'm saying is that the problem with designs like this isn't the color. It isn't primarily a problem with colorblindness to begin with. Although red and green are the hardest colors to tell apart in this situation. It's the brightness of the two colors being too similar. It isn't about calling it something else. If the green had been brighter then the red then anyone could see it. It's still green and red, but even a colorblind person could see the difference then.

[–]Deddan 0 points1 point ago

I know. I am a bit colourblind myself. I was just being facetious.

[–]PFworth 4 points5 points ago

colorblind person here, I could only read the bottom right frame

[–]LordBlessTheAtheism 14 points15 points ago

The first line clearly says "WHITE NIGGER IS A FUCKINGS". I'm confused.

[–]FamilyToad 28 points29 points ago*

[–]MestR 8 points9 points ago

It was just random letters. You chose to read it as that.

[–]LordBlessTheAtheism 6 points7 points ago

Or better yet, your hands chose to type that.

So does that mean I have had sex with not only one but two right wing extremist?

[–]LordBlessTheAtheism 4 points5 points ago

I suppose.

[–]Stingray88 1 point2 points ago

That's actually really easy to solve. If you are trying to put text on a background like that where the majority is white... just make the text you want to be read black with a white stroke. Simple.

I'll do it! It's white text with black border "effect" added (Photoshop, Word, everything can do it).

[–]just_upvote_it_ffs 8 points9 points ago

which guy?

[–]fermilevel 13 points14 points ago

The guy that who has to ask questions on what redditors think its a trivial matter.

[–]RetlaOge 2 points3 points ago*

A guy who asks a genuine question, but instead of receiving help, gets bombarded with downvotes. And instead a shitty novelty account (a copy of a much better account that serves a greater purpose) is praised by all.

GG, Reddit.

[–]just_upvote_it_ffs 0 points1 point ago

I didn't intend for this account to be a novelty account, and I haven't been using it as one(IDK what i was thinking when i picked the name). But I asked "which guy?" because I didn't think him asking a question made him "that guy"

I was confused for a second because the (allegedly) green line looks black to me so I didn't know what it corresponded to.

[–]sprinklzteh 1 point2 points ago

it is black and it shows cost vs compulsion

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Well now I'm just confused again. Everything is color coded except for that one line?

yea pretty much i took 5 min away from school work to bang that out so i will make a V 2.0 tomorrow

it an atrocious mash up of onion (onion news network) and scientific

okay, i'm not even gonna ask where the g came from

[–]bobartig 9 points10 points ago

Usually, it's the 75% off price-point that makes people go wild. Retailers and department stores have known about this forever, and product cycles are based around the principle.

Oh, Hi. So How are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO!

[–]Artegan 29 points30 points ago

Speaking of Steam sales, is Civ V worth it?

I liked Civ 4, but it didn't let me leave the house so I'm afraid of installing the new one.

[–]oshua 29 points30 points ago

worth it?

Yes

but make sure you open a window so you can get some fresh air. You will not being going outside.

[–]Cyberboss_JHCB 2 points3 points ago

ABUY BUY BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]buckybone 1 point2 points ago

$12.50 for the GotY edition, go for it. I'm more of a Civ IV guy myself, but V wasn't terrible.

[–]SirhcAdrbohc 1 point2 points ago

Its different from Civ IV, but still pretty great.

[–]SG-17 1 point2 points ago

Different as in better and more like Civ3?

I loved Civ3 but I hated Civ4.

[–]SirhcAdrbohc 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, I couldn't tell you how it compares to III. Units can't share spaces, I think this is okay cause it makes it more strategic when defending cities. That's the biggest difference I remember.

[–]Noeth 1 point2 points ago

And is the game of the year edition worth the extra?

[–]herp-derpington 0 points1 point ago

Oh it's worth it......if you're strong enough.

[–]Viperboy 0 points1 point ago

How's Civ III compared to IV and V?

[–]CySU 0 points1 point ago

Civ virgin here before I played V. I could never get into the previous Civ games despite how good everyone said they were. Something about the 5th one made it click for me. I got it a couple months ago when Amazon was having their PC download sale, and I seriously can't stop playing!

Since I got it for $4 after the $5 Amazon credit they gave me, I've been feeling a lot lately that I underpaid for it, so I just bought all the DLC today. :D

[–]CyanideCloud 0 points1 point ago

BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!

[–]snoharm 0 points1 point ago

With everyone telling you to buy, I thought I might throw on my contrarion hat.

Did you love Civ 2 and Civ 4? Then you might not liike this so much. Gameplay is a bit simplfied, and feels a bit lacking. Everything is just less.. nuanced, I want to say.

More importantly, lag. Not oh-shit-this-game-is-intense lag, processing lag. A few hundred turns in, the game will turn to shit. I don't care what sort of computer you're on, trying to play a multiplayer game to completion is an excersize in buddha-level patience. It's ridiculous.

Is it fun? Sure. Absolutely. Is it really better than Civ IV? Probably not.

[–]Crystal_Cuckoo 3 points4 points ago

The play time calculator isn't perfect; for example it counts my Borderlands and Magicka DLC as being unplayed.

Thank you for posting the steam time calculator. Now I know all the games I haven't played yet.

[–]kyonz 1 point2 points ago

Oh god, Player Kyosuke owns 244 game(s) on Steam, of which he/she has played 40. That means he/she has not played 204 of them.

I always have a small heart attack whenever I plug my account into Steam Calculator, then I remember 90% of my games were bought during sales or part of the indie bundles.

[–]SilentOneSarah 0 points1 point ago

Too bad the Steam Calculator doesnt take into account what price you bought the game at. I know mine would be a lot less if it did...

[–]SuperShake66652 0 points1 point ago

Found 86 Games with a value of $1252.15 USD

owns 102 game(s) on Steam, of which he/she has played 44. That means he/she has not played 58 of them.

His/her playtime is 508.5 hours, or 21.2 days, or 3 weeks.

Jesus...

[–]shredallthepow 11 points12 points ago

And this is why I bought Train Simulator 2012 for less than $2.

[–]Viperboy 0 points1 point ago*

Games (>$10) go on sale for less than $2?

[–]Ph0X 1 point2 points ago

Even lower with some packs. Valve's pack goes for 50$ during every sale now, and it contains ~25 games, so that's an average of 2$ and it has games such as Portal 2 and L4D2. Well that wasn't a good example but indie games usually get packed for way lower.

[–]rolloutroad 0 points1 point ago

Serious Sam did, too, I believe. The double collection was 90% off at $3.99, making each of the four games a dollar each (even if it is just two games and two remakes) :P

[–]raffytraffy 7 points8 points ago

worse than women with shoes. actually, i like shoes a lot too, but they're never $1.50 for a good pair.

speaking of 1.50 you can get blocks that matter for 1.69 on steam right now!!!!!!!!!

No good computer to play them on

[–]Ph0X 0 points1 point ago

What games are they? There are loads of amazing games that go on sale for 1-2$, which are definitely worth playing and can run on pretty much any computer such as PvZ, World of Goo, Braid, Limbo or even Bastion I think (since it can even run in a browser)

[–]Iable-A 0 points1 point ago

Penumbra, serious Sam, amnesia, things like that. I've been wanting to build a high end gaming computer but haven't had the time to research everything or the funds to buy the parts

[–]Ph0X 0 points1 point ago

I'm not a hardware genius but I've been thinking of building a new PC soon too, and from what I understand, in around 1-2 month it'll be the prime time. Ivy Bridge is coming out very soon, and I think the new generations of Nvidia/ATI cards are either out or will be very soon. Also the HDD prices will have settles a bit more until then, even though I'm considering SSDs.

[–]Green-Daze 1 point2 points ago

Which one haven't you played?

[–]Freakychee 0 points1 point ago

I know what you mean man... I have a few games on steam too that I haven't played yet even after paying for them.

Mostly I'm consumed by MMOs and life in general.

I was just inspired to have a quick look at the steam store from work, loaded up the store on my browser and nearly messed myself to see Civ 5 on sale for $7.50USD and $12.50USD for the GOTY. Immediatly threw it in the cart and went to buy, logged in and then was sad when steam realised I am in australia and more then doubled the prices in my cart (now listed as $17.50USD and $22.49USD for GOTY). Bits must be damned expensive to frieght here.

[–]MandatoryUpvotes 1 point2 points ago

If you're not sure whether or not you are going to be playing a certain game, but still want to get it while it's on sale: buy that shit as a gift. You can give it to someone who missed the sale, or just claim it for yourself later if you want. I myself have bought 23 games on sale for my girlfriend and I will be buying two packs of Civ V for us to play for when she gets her rig up and running.

All hail Steam sales! * shhh wallet, it will all be over soon *

[–]cespinal 1 point2 points ago

I bought Bioshock 1 and 2 for 10 euros yesterday. If this is the price I have to pay to be a few years behind the latest games, so be it.

Lol, love this, so true. Sometimes it pays off though, bought trine for 60p, sat in my inventory for months as I'm not big on platformers. Thought id never play it probabl. Then one day something spurred me to boot it up. Turns out it's a great game and I love it. Only 60p, ridiculous price.

Buying the game does not equate to "taking advantage of sales." Sales are meant to get you to buy. So, really Steam sales just took advantage of you.

I vowed not to buy any new games until I had completed the ones I bought. And by completed I mean got every achievement and explored every nook and cranny. I plan to go as far as disassembling some of the simpler ones, if my technical abilities serve me. My wallet has had enough of my ADD induced purchasing habits, I will make every one of those games count.

Steam Sale Research is really progressing.

Anyone else read this as, "How I take advantage of Stem sales."?

In the last three days I've bought Civ 5 GotY, Saints 3, Freedom Force, BioShock (never played it on PC, way prettier), Borderlands GotY (a friend paid full price not a week ago) and Mafia (played it, finished it years ago, but it was less than $3!).

I love these big company sales. Well I love sales in general. Those little one-day things, no idea what P. B. Fuzzlewinter or whatever it is is, but I got it.
